6.5 Error messages

There are two types of error message: warning (informa- tional) and more serious messages.

6.5.1 Warning messages

These simply give an indication of a situation which is easily resolved:

CLKINX—An attempt is being made to record digi- tally, with the CLOCK switch set to INT. Set the CLOCK switch to the appropriate setting (D-INor WORD)

AES/EBU X—The digital audio signal received at the AES/EBU input has been selected as an input source, but has become unsynchronized or is not present.

COAXIAL X—The digital audio signal received at the COAXIAL unbalanced input has been selected as an input source, but has become unsynchronized or is not present.

AES/EBU ?—The digital audio signal received at the AES/EBU balanced input is more than 0.1% outside the standard sampling frequency and cannot be recorded (though it can be monitored).

COAXIAL ?—The digital audio signal received at the COAXIAL unbalanced input is more than 0.1% out- side the standard sampling frequency and cannot be recorded (though it can be monitored).

Tape Top & Tape End—The tape is at the start or end, and an attempt has been made to move past this point

End-ID—The presence of the END ID prevents the attempted operation

A/D Error—The RECORD key has been pressed and the analog input levels are too high for a recording to be made successfully. Press the STOP key, lower the analog input level, and press the RECORD key again.

RecProtect—The cassette’s sliding write-pro- tect tab is in the write-protect position.

TapeMode HR, TapeMode NOR, — An attempt is being made to record on a tape which has previously been recorded using an incompatible mode (HR or normal)

Tape Fs32k, Tape Fs32kLP—A tape recorded at 32k or with the LP mode cannot be played back using the DA-45HR

6.5.2 Serious error messages

Any of the following error messages indicates a serious error, which you should never see in normal operation. If any of these appears, first try any countermeasures listed here. If the message does not disappear after trying the countermeasure, you should contact your TASCAM dis- tributor for testing and repair of your tape deck.

DSP Com. Err.

Mecha. Com. Er.

Loading Err—Eject the tape, power down the tape deck, power it up again, and reinsert the tape as described in 1.4, "About DAT cassettes". If this fails, con- tact your TASCAM dealer.

Drum Error—Condensation may have occurred on the head drum. Remove the cassette, and leave the tape deck switched on for one or two hours. See the warning note in 1.3, "Installation of the tape deck"

Capstan Error

SVMemo.RDE

SVMemo.WRE

Tape Cut!—The tape has broken. You may be able to remove the damaged cassette, but this is usually best left to a qualified service technician, as the tape may be wound in a complex path around delicate mechanical parts of the tape deck.

Memo.Data Er—The memorized menu set- tings (3.17, "Parameter save") are no longer stored in memory. Try re-making these settings. If the problem persists, contact your TASCAM dealer.
